Parents/Guardians/Students: This week we will continue to focus on using Context Clues to help us figure out the meaning of unfamiliar words and phrases. We will also learn more about Text Structures in Informational Text such as: Cause-Effect, Compare-Contrast, Chronology, and Problem-Solution. We will dive deeper into how to Compare and Contrast Firsthand and Secondhand Accounts of the same event or topic to help us develop a better understanding of what happened. Our grammar skill will be working with verb tenses. In math, we will continue working with factors and multiples, identifying and explaining the rules for prime and composite numbers, and determining the rule a number or shape pattern follows.
